BMW’s 3-Series has always been considered one of the most well rounded performance cars on the road, but it appears as though BMW is preparing to one-up the 3-Series’ credentials. BMW Performance released a teaser video on Tuesday, hinting at a new performance model of the 3-Series.
While the video doesn’t give much away, you can clearly see the car in question is a four-door version of the 3-Series. The front end doesn’t appear to be that of an M3 and the car’s single outlet exhaust seems to hint at the 328 model.
However, the video does show a few carbon fiber bits, which could possibly indicate the long-rumor tii version of the 3-Series.
What surprise BMW Performance has up its sleeve, we won’t have to wait long – BMW says it will fully reveal the new model by the end of the month. As always, stay tuned.

The teaser video emphasizes how much more aggressive the restyled tail-lamp design is.

that’s alot better, like the new 7 series, but it fits better on the 3 series. the tailights were what I hated most about the most recent 3-series, nice to get a good change.

As a current owner of an E90 330i, I can say that I much prefer the existing tail lights – very unique design aspect of this car (though I don’t dislike the new ones).
As far as the current 7-series, I think it is, bar none, the most benign, vanilla large-german sedan on the road. Absolutely a zero on the excitement meter. Yuck.

Did anybody else notice the small strips of “LED” lights under each headlamp cluster?

F150, that’s just the reflection, if they are LED’s, which they look like it, they are in the headlamp housing.

Feces in your mouth and chewing the little chunks that exist in most types of feces is a true joy when picking the little undigested chunks stuck between your teeth with a tooth pick. Oh how I love watching shirtless men do this. Just the bad smell arouses me almost to the point of ejaculation.

Honestly, in the heavily Asian influenced city in which I work, I see so many 3-Series it’s like trying to pick out your favorite crow on a power line.

atoms, you win the prize. Pick any 3-Series you want, just make sure you run that ICBC report on damage history first.

Kind of strange when they already have the M line. I guess it’ll be like Audi’s “S-Line package” for those too cheap to spend the money on a full S, and just want the look of the S cars.

It’s probably just the Competition package, formerly only available on the coupe models.

dorikin_86 you are most likely to be correct. I work at a BMW dealership in Texas. BMW has been working on their BMW performance products over the parts counter. I believe that this video is ment to promote some of the new product avail.
